This far
C 
G 
away I am today
Em 
C 
G 
From scenes I'm on the boy
D 
G 
And long ago the hour I know
C 
Am 
I  first saw Illinois
D 
G 
But time, tide, nor waters wide,
C 
Am 
D 
could win my heart away.
G 
C

Forever true, it flies to you,
Em 
C 
G 
my own dear Galway Bay.
C 
G 
C

O  'er grey and bleak, by shore and creek,
Em 
C 
G 
the rugged rocks abound.
D 
G 
C 
But sweet and green the grass between
Am 
D 
As grows on Irish ground
G 
So friendship forms a wealth beyond
C 
Am 
D 
And love that lives always
G 
Bless each poor home
C 
beside your foam

Had I youth, blood, and hopeful mood
Em

G 
And heart of fire once more
D 
G 
C 
For all the gold the world might hold
Am 
D 
I'd never quit, you're sure
G 
C 
I'd live content whatever God sent
Am 
D 
With neighbors old and grey
G 
C 
And lay my bones near the
G 
churchyard stones
Em 
C 
G 
Beside you, Galway Bay
C 
G 
The blessings of a poor old man
Em 
C 
G 
Be with you night and day
D 
G 
C 
The blessings of a lonely man
Am 
D 
whose heart might soon be clay
G 
C 
Tis all the heaven I ask of God
Am 
D 
upon my dying day
G 
C 
G 
My soul to soar forevermore
Em 
C 
G 
above you, Galway Bay
C 
G 
My soul to soar forevermore
Em 
C 
Above you, Galway Bay
G
